The reason why Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun were so furious was not because of anything else, but because last night when the Second Brigade was marching towards Jiangjunshi, a squad leader of the original Tangyuan Independent Regiment who was newly incorporated into the Second Brigade actually disappeared with his gun.
Only at dawn the next day did Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming realize that there was one less man in their army. When Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming reacted, they found that this man had already disappeared. [.Com Text]
When the Second Brigade was advancing towards General Shixian, someone disappeared with a gun, which made Yang Zhen extremely angry. Apart from defecting, what other reason could there be for missing with a gun? Since the establishment of several newly formed independent regiments, it is indeed unacceptable to be deserters.
Few. These recruits who formed the newly formed independent regiments and whose families are local are different from the former recruits who came from labor backgrounds and had no place to run. They are very familiar with the local area and can run home easily.
Nowadays, when you are a soldier, you have to go to the battlefield. It is normal to be afraid of death and reluctant to leave home, wife and children. But those who run away basically leave their weapons in the army and no one takes them away. And the person who ran away with a gun is
Still the first one. Although it is nothing new for a soldier to run away in war years, this person ran away when the Second Brigade was about to arrive at the scheduled battlefield, especially after it was basically certain that he had defected, but the harm he caused was extremely real.
big.
Although this defector has a low position, he is just the squad leader of a newly formed unit and does not understand the entire deployment. His defection will not reveal many secrets. But he only needs to leak the marching route of the Second Brigade.
This makes it easy for Genbo to judge his entire combat intention.
The Japanese are not fools. When they suddenly find that there is a force with tens of thousands of troops and a large amount of artillery hidden around them, they will not be unable to judge the opponent's next tactical intention. The Japanese are certainly very smart on strategic issues.
It's a bit narrow, but tactically it's quite impressive. Its reaction speed is definitely top-notch.
Once his strategic intention is exposed, not only may the 24th Division slip away from his grasp, but if he fails to do so, he will suffer a big loss in subsequent operations.
Looking at Yang Zhen's uncertain face, Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming, who knew that they had caused a big disaster, did not dare to express their anger and stood aside honestly. They were not unaware of the harm caused by this defector, and they had also thought about it.
I tried my best to catch this guy. But when I found out, it was already past midnight, and it was too late to arrest him again.
Knowing that the commander's entire plan was likely to be scrapped due to the appearance of this defector. Even the high price paid by Wang Guangyu in these days of bloody battles was likely to be in vain, the two of them were so ashamed that they could not hold their heads up.
.
Especially Liu Changshun, when he led the troops to Qunce Mountain to receive the new troops, Yang Zhen had repeatedly told him to firmly control the troops and never create an unstable situation. But what he didn't expect was that,
Just as we were about to arrive at the battlefield, something happened.
Liu Changshun, who was full of remorse, wanted to catch the guy who almost ruined the entire battle plan and cut him into pieces to get rid of the evil in his heart.
Although he wanted to kill these two careless guys, Yang Zhen also knew that the sooner he made a decision on this emergency, the better. After a long silence, Yang Zhen raised his head and looked at Liu Changshun, who was looking ashamed, and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.
He slowly said: "Where is the main force of your second brigade now?"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's question, Liu Changshun quickly walked to the map, pointed at the map and said: "Report to the commander and chief of staff, all of our troops have arrived at the designated location and are on standby. According to the headquarters' plan, the main forces of the fourth and fifth regiments
, as well as two battalions of the rocket artillery directly under our operations headquarters and one battalion of the field artillery have arrived at the hiding place between Daheli River and Junde, west of the Jiahe railway line, and are waiting."
"One battalion of the Sixth Regiment and the Fifth Regiment, one battalion of the field artillery directly under the headquarters, and the artillery unit directly under the brigade have all arrived three miles west of Yongchang, the important town on the Jiahe Highway, and are on standby. Once an attack order is received from the headquarters, the Jiahe Highway can be cut off at any time
and Jiahe Railway.”
After Liu Changshun finished his report, Yang Zhen looked at the locations of the Second Brigade units on the map and pondered for a long time before saying to Guo Bingxun: "Old Guo, I don't think we can wait any longer. Regardless of whether this defector went to the Japanese army or not,
We can't risk waiting any longer. The Japanese are not fools. Such a large force can enter their flank and not be discovered for a long time. I think our plan must be carried out in advance."
Although Guo Bingxun seemed a little hesitant, he finally nodded and said: "This person disappeared when the Second Brigade was moving towards General Shixian. Basically, it is certain that he defected to the Japanese army. Otherwise, he would have run away long ago.
, why wait until the second brigade is close to the preset battlefield and run away?"
"Although this person's defection did not involve many secrets due to his position, he exposed the marching route of the main force of the Second Brigade and almost completely exposed our tactical intentions. If we still want to eat this 25th Division,
Then we can only act in advance. Commander, I think this decision can be made."
With Guo Bingxun's support, Yang Zhen, who quickly determined to fight in a very short period of time, pointed to the map and said to Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming: "Don't delay here, return to the army immediately. After you go back, be sure to
Be ready for battle in the shortest possible time."
"The headquarters is determined to form the North Cluster with the 2nd Brigade and 4th Regiment that have arrived east of Yongchang. The main force of the 5th Regiment is under the unified command of Brigade Commander Liu Changshun and Chief of Staff Ma Chunsheng. Starting from the current location, they will attack eastward and attack the main force of the Japanese army on General Shi's front line.
Behind the Forty Regiment."
"The mission of the North Cluster is to seize Junde as quickly as possible, cut off the connection between the 40th Regiment and the Japanese field detachment, and form a north-south pincer attack with the 1st Brigade against the 40th Regiment."
"The Sixth Regiment, which has now reached the west of Yongchang, plus the First Section of the Fifth Regiment, and the cavalry battalion directly under the military region, commanded by Wang Xiaoming, the Acting Political Commissar of the Second Brigade, will form the Southern Group, with Yongchang as the starting point, and sweep eastward with all our strength. In the shortest possible time,
Seize Xinhua, the key point of the Jiahe Railway Line, and cut off the Jiahe Railway Line."
Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the time on his watch and said to Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming: "It is now nine o'clock in the evening, and I can only give you six hours to complete the final preparations. Tomorrow at two o'clock in the morning, you will
You must ring me on time."
"Remember that after the battle begins, ignore the entanglement of small groups of Japanese troops. Concentrate the main force and artillery fire, and attack the Japanese troops in depth. We must complete the division and encirclement of the Japanese troops in the shortest possible time."
Regarding Yang Zhen's deployment, Liu Changshun didn't have any big objections. But regarding his personnel arrangements, he said hesitantly: "Commander, there is basically no problem starting at 2 o'clock tomorrow morning, but there is one thing you need to consider.
The Sixth Regiment and part of the Fifth Regiment are now far away from the Yongchang front line. If Political Commissar Wang rushes from the General Shi front line, he will have to take a long detour in order to avoid the Japanese positions."
"Even if he works hard, he will have to arrive at the Yongchang front line at least around midnight. This leaves him less than an hour to prepare. Doesn't it seem too hasty? The Yongchang front line troops are now commanded by Chief of Staff Ma. Do you think that's right?
Adjust the command layout. Chief of Staff Ma will take unified command of the southern front troops, while Political Commissar Wang and I will command the main force of the fourth and fifth regiments on the northern front?"
In response to Liu Changshun's suggestion, Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun looked at each other and nodded: "Okay, let's do as you wish. You and Wang Xiaoming will jointly command the northern front troops, and the southern front troops will be commanded by Ma Chunsheng. You will return immediately."
Troops, issue orders according to this deployment."
After that, Yang Zhen emphasized again: "I don't care what difficulties you have now. But at two o'clock in the evening, I want to hear you start the fight on time. As for how to fight, you are all brigade-level cadres, so you should have an idea in your mind.
Number. The chief of staff and I don’t have to worry about the process, but we must see the desired results within the specified time.”
Seeing Yang Zhen nodding in agreement with his opinion, Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming did not dare to delay. After hurriedly saluting the military salute, they quickly walked out of the headquarters and hurried back to their troops. After the two left, Yang Zhen shook his head and said to Guo Bingxun with a wry smile.
: "I gave you all my advice and instructions, but I didn't expect that something would happen to them."
"Don't they know how much harm such an inconspicuous oversight in peacetime will bring in wartime? These independent regiments were formed too hastily and cannot be screened in detail, and their soldier structure is very complicated. Among them,
In addition to the local people, there are also many captured puppet Manchukuo military and police personnel. It is not unknown to them."
"Why don't they be more careful? Their negligence has caused us to be more prepared for the offensive, but now we can only hastily launch it in advance. Do they know how much more their negligence will cost us?
Costs that can be avoided?”
From the tone of Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun could clearly tell that he was very dissatisfied with Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming's mistake. To be honest, Guo Bingxun was also very angry that the two of them made such a big mistake before the battle. But he was calm.
When I think about it, I don't think it's anything special.
When the war is about to begin, the defection of one's own troops will indeed have a certain impact on the combat plan. But if it is a fatal impact, it is unlikely. As long as one can quickly adjust the deployment according to the changes in the situation, such an impact will
Although it cannot be ignored, it is not too big.
Although Guo Bingxun did not think this was a big deal, he saw another problem from this matter: "Commander, don't be too angry. The enemy situation in Northeast China is far more complicated than that in the pass, and the Japanese and puppets
The spy power is also far stronger than that in Guan Nei. Whether it is the commander-in-chief, the political commissar, or the commander of the First Army, or the political commissar, I have heard that they have suffered greatly from the Japanese and puppet spies."
"These independent regiment soldiers are different from our previous rescued laborers. They are all recruited locally in the base area. The members themselves are complex. In addition, we lack effective screening methods and methods. This situation will not happen.
What a strange thing."
"One of them is a brigade commander and the other is a brigade political commissar. They are responsible for a brigade, not a certain company or platoon. How can they cover everything for a brigade with tens of thousands of people? And I doubt that if the missing person
If this person really defected, then he could run away for most of the night and not be discovered until dawn, which means that this matter is not an isolated matter."
"Although I don't advocate expanding this matter to an unlimited extent, I wonder if the commander has considered it? This person is a squad leader. Although he is only the leader of the soldiers, he is the squad leader in charge of a squad after all. He is missing.
Isn’t it a little strange that you weren’t discovered in the middle of the night?”
"Even when marching at night, his battalion and company commander did not notice that there was no one missing. But it is impossible for the platoon leader who needs him to convey orders to the soldiers in his squad not to know that he has lost a squad leader? And which squad of soldiers?
, my squad leader has been missing for most of the night, but he didn’t notice it at all. Is this possible?"
"If I'm not wrong, this person's defection is definitely not an isolated incident. At least his platoon leader must conduct a strict review. We can't just unjustly accuse a good person, but we can't let a bad person go. If this platoon leader
There is also a problem with the length, which really illustrates the problem."
"You must know that the cadres we used to form those independent regiments were all drawn from the three old main regiments. If there are problems with this platoon leader, it means that there are also some problems in our old troops that should not be
Problems arise.”
In response to Guo Bingxun's words, Yang Zhen nodded slightly and said: "I don't feel right either. A squad leader disappeared for most of the night, and the whole army didn't even feel anything. Even when marching at night, this is almost impossible.
It’s just that the troops are in a battle right now, so we can’t strictly review the person involved. We can only wait until the battle is over.”
"However, although this matter cannot be expanded now, Liu Changshun must be told that not only the platoon leader, but also the company commander of the company must be closely monitored. Especially during the period when the second brigade troops are fully deployed and before the battle begins.
Within a certain period of time, strict surveillance must be carried out. And before the full-scale battle begins, orders must not be communicated beyond the battalion level."
"No relevant combat plans will be communicated to the front-line troops until the last five minutes to prevent similar incidents from happening again. If the squad leader defected during the march, the threat to us would not be too great. If the troops are fully deployed,
, if a similar time occurs again, it will bring a fatal blow to our entire attack deployment."
